The Bottom Line:

"Best in series"

Silent Hill 3 has some really cool things to offer. The heroine is great, just an ordinary teenage girl named Heather, who takes on the eerie world that's Silent Hill. The creatures are detailed with dogs that have their heads split in two, walking tumors, mannequins that come to life, undead nurses, and much more. Silent Hill has a unique and disturbing atmosphere that will leave your skin crawling, but will totally immerse you into the game play and leave you always wanting more.

Personally, I found this game to be the best of the series. The game play was well thought out so that you had time to explore the environments and engross yourself into the atmosphere that is Silent Hill without the constant running and shooting you find in so many other games. There are puzzles to solve that have user adjustable difficulty . The cut scenes are great and build hair raising tension for what will come next. Konami has always done a great job with the Silent Hill series; this game was the best.
